Abstract

GFRP bars are non corrosion materials, their tensile modulus relatively are lower compared with steel reinforcement. A total of six beam specimens (BG1~BG3 and BC1~BC3) were simulated to failure by concrete crushed under four-point bending. The main parameters studies were FRP reinforcement's types (GFRP and CFRP) bars and amounts of reinforcement ratios. To compare the influence of these parameters on the flexural behavior of FRPs concrete beams, ABAQUS Finite-element software was used. The results showed that; with increasing of reinforcement ratio, bearing capacities for all beams were increased. All of GFRP specimens have a larger mid span deflection than CFRP beams. In all FRP specimens, mid span deflection were decreased with increased as the reinforcement ratio, this decreased is larger in GFRP bars than that in CFRP specimens.
